Chapter 49: 0:0!

After Zhang Tiehan's training was over, Zhang Zhenren found Zhang Tiehan and told him the reason for the details of the negotiation contract, "The club doesn't seem to be optimistic about you, and even my threat of liquidated damages with you is useless, and I don't know what to do." That Mr. Nelson is strong. ”

"That's a cunning old man." Zhang Tiehan nodded understandingly.

He has been in the club for about two months, and he also knows a little about the people at the top of the club.

In the club, the most vocal is the club's chairman Dave Whelan, who is sixty-three years old and a famous sports goods tycoon in England with a net worth of more than 100 million pounds, but as an investor in the club, Whelan rarely interferes in the club's affairs.

Underneath that are Steven Nelson, head of athletics, and head coach Jewell.

Steven Nelson is only the head of the athletic department, but in fact, Wigan Athletic Club is not big, except for the athletic department formed a few years ago, the other departments are very small, so Steven Nelson actually oversees everything outside the team's games, such as the club's sponsorship, commercial expansion, and for example, he is in charge of the club's finances, and he is also responsible for part of the transfer work.

As the head coach of the team, Jewell still has a considerable say in the English football environment, but he is only responsible for some team-related work.

If he wants to bring in a player, he will let Nelson take over, and then Nelson will decide whether to bring in that player depending on the club's situation.

Generally speaking, within the club's ability, Jewell's requirements will be met, and this is the case with Zhang Tiehan's transfer to Wigan Athletic, and Jewell informed Nelson, who brought Zhang Tiehan from Manchester United to Wigan Athletic.

In terms of transfers, Jewell is the one who speaks, and Nelson does the work.

But in other areas, Jewell has no room to interfere, including negotiating contracts with players, etc., and Nielsen has the right to do so, and each player's agent must deal with Nielsen.

Although Zhang Tiehan has not been in contact with Nelson, he has also heard some things from his teammates, and naturally knows that Nelson is a person who really has power in the club.

"You've done a good job negotiating with Nelson head-on!" Zhang Tiehan comforted Zhang Zhenren instead.

"Tie Man, it's still not good at me, I have no experience in this area before, that guy is too strong, I was still a little nervous at the time!"

"It's the first time after all." Zhang Tiehan said with a smile, "Whoever is nervous for the first time." But you haven't experienced it yet, so you shouldn't be nervous......"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhenren was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

Zhang Tiehan looked at his cousin hesitantly, "People say that Germans are very old-fashioned, shouldn't they?" Have you already been? ”

Zhang Zhenren's mind turned for a long time before he said smartly, "How come?" I don't! Last time, I chased a girl and gave me ninety-nine roses, which she threw directly into the trash. His voice grew lower and lower.

"It's still a virgin-man!" Zhang Tiehan was stunned.

"You!" Zhang Zhenren was annoyed and angry, and simply played a scoundrel, "So what! I'm just conservative! ”

"Oh...... I see...... "Zhang Tiehan said in a long tone, "By the way, cousin, why don't I introduce my teammates to you, Brejin and Riddle, and make sure you break the gap within a week." ”

Zhang Zhenren rolled his eyes, "No, I might as well find it myself." ”

"Okay, okay." Zhang Tiehan shook his head in distress and said solemnly, "Seriously, brother, you really did a good job, much better than me." ”

These are sincere words.

Zhang Tiehan didn't think much about it at all, he just asked Zhang Zhenren to help him sign a contract with the club, Zhang Zhenren can understand the contract, he is his cousin, and he can become his temporary agent, that's all, that's all. As for the negotiation or anything, he didn't think it was so complicated.

But as soon as Zhang Zhenren said it, he realized that Lu Dao was not so simple.

Talking about salary, talking about the length of the contract, talking about other things, in short, he didn't think about the contract and negotiating with the club.

As soon as Zhang Zhenren said it, he knew this, but thinking about it, Zhang Zhenren is only still studying, and his age is not a few years older than him, and even plus his previous life, he is older than Zhang Zhenren and has more experience, but he seems a lot more naΓ―ve?

And this cousin, who can face the treacherous Nelson, and fight with Nelson to negotiate with reason, it is not easy to do this, and he can still find the initiative in it, and threaten him with liquidated damages...... Zhang Zhenren has never experienced these things at all, but such a complicated thing, he actually did it well, even if it was not negotiated after the last time, there was only a difference in the length of the contract, if the cousin was not for him, to negotiate a five-year contract, signing the contract is actually nothing.

He's done a great job!

Zhang Tiehan feels that it is no worse than those real agents, even if he finds a licensed agent, or even a big-name agent, what can he do?

"Brother, you just continue to talk to Nelson, he thinks he should sign a long-term contract, and he doesn't even care about delay, that's because my performance is not good enough, as long as I can perform well enough, then the initiative will be with us, and everything will be much easier to talk about!" Zhang Tiehan said lightly.

His tone was very flat, but the meaning of his words shocked Zhang Zhenren's spirits.

Zhang Zhenren stared at Zhang Tiehan carefully and smiled loudly, "Ha Luha, Tie Han, you really deserve to be a member of my Zhang family, you are so confident, not bad, not bad!" ”

Zhang Tiehan's face turned black in an instant.

'People of the Zhang family'...... These words came out of Zhang Zhenren's mouth, how strange it sounded. Zhang Tiehan hurriedly said, "Okay, brother, you can find a hotel to stay, I think you have to stay here for a few days." ”

Zhang Zhenren nodded, "Before negotiating the contract, I still have to talk to your club about your residence, I think it won't take much time, you are ready to move to a big house!" ”

……

The next day, Zhang Zhenren started another job.

When Zhang Tiehan and his teammates were training together, Zhang Zhenren went around various departments of Wigan Athletic Club, constantly urging them to solve the dormitory problem for Zhang Tiehan.

"My cousin is the main player of the team, and it is completely unreasonable to live in the players' dormitory!"

"My cousin has been here for more than two months!"

"Hurry up, I can't stand that player dormitory anymore."

Under the urging of Zhang Zhenren's stunning face and exasperated loud voice, the club's staff were surprisingly efficient and quickly found a few suitable houses.

Zhang Zhenren went around and quarreled in the club dissatisfied.

"My cousin trains hard and always has to practice, so my cousin must live closer to the training ground!"

"A professional player, tired from training all day, of course you have to be comfortable when you go home, you look at the place you are looking for, the environment is really bad!"

"It's too big, my cousin will be afraid of the dark, and he doesn't have a car yet!"

"It's too small, what's the difference with the players' dormitories?"

In just one day, the staff of Wigan Athletic Club were overwhelmed by Zhang Zhenren, and they all felt that this day's work was more tiring than a week.

At this time, Zhang Tiehan was still training on the court.

He doesn't have to worry about anything other than football, he just needs to train, train hard, play well, that's his job.

Regarding the contract, although it has not yet been negotiated, he also has his own considerations.

The cousin threatened his own liquidated damages, and Nelson did not let go, which means that the other party has a measure in his heart, that is, his performance is not worth four million pounds, after all, it is a lot of money, and he can buy two powerful midfielders.

What if your performance is above Β£4 million?

That's when Nelson will definitely let go!

As for the performance, Zhang Tiehan was very confident, just because the seal of the second ancient power in his body was about to be unlocked.

With one game after another, the mist-like halo of the ancient seal became lighter and fainter, and he had already discovered some rules, as long as he went to the game, the halo would fade a lot, and if the performance was good, the halo would fade faster, and if the performance was poor, the lighter would fade slower, but in general, it was slowly fading.

As long as he continued for a few more matches, he believed that no matter what, this halo would disappear, and then he would get a second Ancient Force.

An ancient force plus a magical secret skill has already made him capable of becoming the main force of the League One team, and what about unlocking an ancient force force? Then your own strength will definitely be able to go to the next level!

When the time comes, it's much easier to perform well.

"When the time comes, sign a new contract, but that's not the case." Zhang Tiehan thought coldly.

……

On September 27, the 10th round of League One began, and Wigan Athletic challenged Coventry City away.

Coventry City didn't play well in the previous games, with two wins, four draws and three defeats in nine games, and they are close to the edge of the relegation zone in the League One table, so they take the game very seriously.

Playing at home, even the club's president, Ray Ranson, was personally on the pitch to supervise the game, which shows how important they are to the game, this is a home game, and the opponent Wigan Athletic has been very strong lately, so they have to take it very seriously.

In the home team's dressing room, head coach Jean-Maten is admonishing, "Just like we did before the game, pay attention to the movement, don't let the opponent's No. 13 get the ball in the front court, if something happens, don't let that No. 13 run, and stop him for fouls!" ”

Jean Metern has done a lot of work, and he knows that Wigan Athletic have had a number 13 who has been doing quite well recently, but the weaknesses are also quite obvious, and he specifically admonished his players not to make mistakes.

"And that number 10, Riddle, this player is only playing in League One for the first time, but his performance is quite eye-catching, I want you to restrain him and follow ......him all the time."

A few more words, the time was about the same, and the players of both teams began to play.

Jean Metern did a pretty good job, with some of his targeted defence against Wigan Athletic showing effect at the start of the game.

Riddle was restrained, and whenever he got the ball in the front court, there were players who kept coming forward to scramble, making quite big moves, even going so far as to foul him to stop him from passing the threatening ball.

For Zhang Tiehan, it is completely different, defending Zhang Tiehan, they are not so 'brave', the method they use is very simple, that is, to cut off Zhang Tiehan's passing route. Zhang Tiehan's running position in the front court is poor, and then he is restricted by the opponent like this, it is not easy to get the ball, and it is impossible for teammates to use a very dangerous hanging pass in order to pass the ball to him, not to mention, when the opponent is intensively defending, Zhang Tiehan does not have a very good way.

As a result, in the second half, Zhang Tiehan simply defended in the backfield, anyway, there was no chance in the frontcourt, he was originally a defensive player, and he could play his role in limiting the opponent in the backcourt.

With Zhang Tiehan defending seriously in the backfield, the opponent's counterattack couldn't play at all, but it was a pity that although Wigan Athletic had been trying hard to attack, Ridell also made a few exquisite passes at the right time, but he still failed to score.

Wigan Athletic still failed to find the back of the net for Coventry, and Coventry tried to play a counter-attack but couldn't produce any results.

In the end, the two teams drew 0-0.

The away game ended in a draw, and for Wigan Athletic, the result was not bad, after all, it was an away game, although Coventry was not strong, and it was a pity not to get three points, but the result was acceptable.

Wigan Athletic didn't care too much about it.

Four days later, on October 1, they welcomed their next opponent, Cardiff City. Cardiff City were also promoted from last season, Wigan Athletic are League Two champions, Cardiff City are third in the league, and the two teams are already familiar with each other.

Wigan Athletic players are very confident, in last season, they beat Cardiff City home and away, there was no suspense at all, with 'historical' reasons, even if they play away, they are full of confidence.

But when the game ended, all the Wigan Athletic players on the field were a little disappointed, and they looked at the scoreboard hanging above the stadium as far as their eyes could see, and the red numbers on it were clearly visible--

0:0!
